Testing and Compliance Services
Evidence Driven RoHS Support from Screening to Technical File
Each service is organised to reduce uncertainty, identify material risks early and support a smoother conformity assessment journey.
XRF Screening
Rapid screening of metals, plastics, solder, coatings and other homogeneous materials to identify elevated substance risk.
Fast Material ScreeningChemical Confirmation
Wet chemistry and instrumental analysis to confirm restricted substances where screening results or material risk require it.
Definitive AnalysisHomogeneous Material Plan
Product breakdown and sampling plans that focus testing on distinct materials, coatings, solders, polymers and components.
Risk Based SamplingTechnical File Review
Review of declarations, test reports, bill of materials, supplier evidence, risk assessments, labels and product records.
IEC 63000 ReadinessSupplier Evidence Check
Assessment of supplier declarations and material certificates to identify evidence gaps before the final compliance file is submitted.
Supply Chain ControlCertification Coordination
Support for UAE and Saudi conformity pathways, including document preparation, application coordination and compliance follow up.
Market Access SupportRegional Market Access

Compliance Process
A Clear Route from Product Review to Certification Evidence
A planned workflow reduces unnecessary testing, closes evidence gaps early and keeps the certification file organised.
Step 01
Product Scope Review
Confirm the product category, destination market, applicable RoHS requirements and certification pathway.
Step 02
Material Risk Assessment
Review the product construction, bill of materials and supplier evidence to identify high risk homogeneous materials.
Step 03
Screening and Testing
Complete XRF screening and targeted chemical confirmation using the agreed sampling plan.
Step 04
Technical File Completion
Compile declarations, reports, material records, risk assessments, labels, manuals and supporting evidence.
Step 05
Certification and Market Entry
Coordinate the applicable ECAS, MoIAT, SASO or SABER process and respond to technical review comments.
Required Documentation
Build a Technical File That Remains Useful Beyond One Application
Strong documentation supports certification, supplier control, product changes, and future market expansion.
Your Compliance File Should Tell One Consistent Product Story
Product identity, material evidence, testing, declarations, and supply chain records must remain aligned throughout the submission.
METS Lab can review existing documents and identify missing evidence before testing or application submission.
Declaration of Conformity
Product identification, applicable requirements, responsible party, and authorised signature.
Accredited Test Reports
XRF screening and chemical analysis reports linked to the tested samples and product construction.
Bill of Materials and Supplier Records
Material and component details supported by declarations, certificates, and traceable supplier evidence.
Risk Assessment
IEC 63000 aligned evaluation explaining material risk, evidence quality, and the required testing strategy.
Labels, Manuals and Product Records
Product model, manufacturer, importer, markings, labels, and instructions consistent with the certification application.
